Learn how to initiate a review from within InDesign
As a designer, you can share your documents for review with stakeholders while controlling access to the shared documents.
Here is a handy visual reference on sharing InDesign documents for review.
Select any of the following options to initiate the document review:
Add a Title for your design and click Create.
Specify the access level for your designs before you share them:
b. To disable commenting and provide view only permissions on a public link, click more (...), select Public Settings and disable Allow commenting for public users.
C. Click Add People to invite individual stakeholders for review.
d. Specify the email address of the stakeholder. If you have an Adobe ID, InDesign auto-detects it.
e. Click Invite.
You can manage the list of invited stakeholders by doing the following:
You can save the shared document after receiving comments from stakeholders using File > Save. However, if you use File > Save As, it clears the review comments in the document.
You can continue to make changes to your document after you have shared them. Once your changes are made, click Update Link. Stakeholders can view the updates made to the document when they refresh the document. Feedback provided through the link is not affected.
You can update a review link to reflect changes to the document without having to create a new link. An updated link preserves the stakeholder comments. You can manage your reviews online, create new review, or delete a review for your designs.
You can view feedback from stakeholders in InDesign using the Review panel. Feedback provided by stakeholders is available in almost real-time through the application.
Alternatively, click More Options and select Manage reviews on the web. Open your shared designs from assets.adobe.com to view feedback. You can always go to previous reviews by selecting Manage reviews on the web.
You can delete a shared review when it is complete. In SHARE FOR REVIEW dialog, click the More options ... icon at the lower-right corner and select Delete review.
You can also copy or delete designs that you previously shared through the Creative Cloud website.
If you are unable to access existing review information such as review comments and email IDs of collaborators, upgrade to the latest version InDesign 16.3, June 2021 release, and try opening the document to access the information.
